Truggy Savage Build (56k no no)

[crzy-svg-usr]

ok was bored so i started to make a pan chassi, not fully done yet still rough. still need to make up a radio tray peice, mount engine and gas tank, stiffen the chassi, and then do some finish grinding to lighten it up a bit

truck sits a little shorter then stock length but should make it fun and real squirley, ill just let the pics do the talking

[Jeremy]

Wow Todd you have came a long way in a short time !!!

Great build and looks fairly easy thanks to the step pics..
Love when someone can take NOTHING and build something, It's great rather then just having a tower hobbies savage . Plus rep can't wait to see more

 

[crzy-svg-usr]

only did a little work today got the tank mounted radio box and tray. currently building alum block as standoffs for the tray should tie to chassi and tray together nice and stiffen itup a bunch

 

[THE JUDGE]

Looks sweet. I LIKE what you're doing!

What vehicle(s) are the other parts from?

 

[crzy-svg-usr]

diff tanka nd box are from gs storm buggy, servo saver is a mp rest of stuff is savage or a peice of sheet metal

 

[THE JUDGE]

Cool, very creative.

Road signs=great construction material as well!

 

[crzy-svg-usr]

yea needed alum and didnt feel like buying any so i just stole the sign and cut it up lol

 

[THE JUDGE]

Honestly, that's a great idea. How thick is it?

(Sorry for all the ?s, just curious...)

 

[crzy-svg-usr]

same thickness as my gs storm chassi (not sure didnt measure it)

little more work not much, anyone can do this i have only used simple tools so far thus the rough finish, wish i was at school and could use the mill and lathes, o well

I'm home from school for the summer now and started building again. changed it up a bit need to take pics i swaped the moutnign locations tank is on other side now same as engien and radio is on the other side, setup like most buggys now. got the steering linkage all hooked up engine mounted and chassi braces. just working up on touchups then needa paint the chassi if i feel like it.

 

[crzy-svg-usr]

its almost done now basicially just touchup work theni need to paint some stuff. gonna put the k4.6 or whatever it is engine in it, just didnt mount it yet. dunno what body to run ill have to figure it out. truck is so much lighter now, gonna have to put it on a scale once i gett he engine and electronics installed.

 

[hockeyizlife94]

this is a fairly rough guess, and it mayeb could help you...arent alot of flat chassis turned up around the edges to reduce some flex? i know all of em arent but the idea seems to make sense to me...

 

[crzy-svg-usr]

yea i still have to angle the sides and trim the chassi some

 

[Zach_406]

Thats AWESOME!!! Cant wait to see it finished and you should post a video!! Keep it up!

 

[jcam54]

Good God Man!!! That is sweet!!! Keep the updates comeing!!

 

[crzy-svg-usr]

sorry for lack of updates, been kinda busy tryign to find job and starting the new build on my real car. this kinda took a spot on the back burner again ill try to finish it tomorow, thinking about making shorter shock towers and runnign 4 shocks since the body sist way high the current way and looks funny
